I tried both 2.6.27.10 and 2.6.27.22 and they both built successfully. And in looking at the stable 2.6.27.10 patch, I don't see any problem with it (regarding vmi_activate()). Did you download the linux-2.6.27.zz.tar.{bz2,gz} tarball or did you apply some patch(es) to linux-2.6.27 or what? -- ~Randy
